Original – Rosette Bearing the Names and Titles of Shah Jahan; Folio from the Shah Jahan Album. A shamsa (literally, sun) traditionally opened imperial Mughal albums. Worked in bright colors and several tones of gold, the meticulously designed and painted arabesques are enriched by fantastic flowers, birds, and animals. The inscription in the center reads: "HisMajesty Shihabuddin Muhammad Shahjahan, the King, Warrior of the Faith, may God perpetuate his kingdom and sovereignty."

Reason

Just look at it. Its a super fine masterpiece of some unknown artisan. Good EV and nice quality.
